Lorry driver fined £100, banned
A CLITHEROE lorry driver Michael Ball was fined £100 and banned from driving for three years, at Preston Crown Court. A jury found Ball, of Lime
Street, guilty of refusing to provide a blood or urine sam ple for analysis. Mr Raymond Bennett'; pro
secuting, said Ball had driven his unlit lorry at a fast speed through Clitheroe. Two police patrolmen fol
lowed him to Lime Street, where he admitted having had five or six pints, but refused to take any tests. ' Ball told the court he did
not think he had been speed ing. He added that he had been stationary for several minutes before the" police arrived and so, suggested Mr T im o th y W h i t t in g h am (defending) they had not been entitled to ask his client for a breath test.
;- ‘Unaware of defects’
A GISBURN youth whose car sills and wings were hanging loose was fined £20 by Clitheroe magistrates. John Lund (18), of Stirk House Farm, admitted using a car in a dangerous condition. He said he was unaware of the d e fe c ts until they were pointed out to him by the police.
A FRACTURED leg didn’t prevent Chipping Scout Peter Harrison from receiving his advanced standard badge and a new conservation badge from Assistant District Com missioner, Alban Snape. Peter (13), who fell down
steps at the youth club only two nights before, took the Scout motto “Be Prepared"
Did not stop at crossing
A SAWLEY man who failed to give precedence to a pedestrian on a zebra crossing was fined £10 by Clithei-oe magistrates.
James Harrison Porter (35),
of Lawson House Farm, was also fined £5 for not having a te s t certificate. Admitting •both offences, he said he had not seen the pedestrian uni il his car was on the crossing, in Castle Street, Clitheroe. He had forgotten to renew the certificate.
For Guild funds
A COFFEE evening organ ised by Clitheroe Evening Townswomen’s Guild raised more than £65 for general funds.
A bring-and-buy and stalls
selling plants, hats, handbags, jewellery and cakes were set out in the garden of the Prin cess Avenue home of Mr and Mrs H, G. Coulter.
The guild’s next fund-raiser,
will probably be a fashion show in September.

Response to meals plea disappointing
THE Ribble Valley Red Cross has had a disappointing response to its plea for
help.in cooking and delivering meals on a rota system for 13 Chipping pensioners. .’It was hoped ^residents would cook meals in their
own homes on a rota system as a temporary measure. But when the committee held a coffee evening in the, village to recruit volunteers, only one person
turned up. However, the committee, with some other offers of
help, will be able to provide meals for the next five weeks at least, and is hoping something will turn up in the meantime to keep the scheme operating.. Another Red Cross service, however, is proving a
great success. The social club at Edisford for the housebound, handicapped and "blind is being attended by 20 to 30 people from Clitheroe and district. The county council is providing transport to the
meeting place, but more volunteers are needed to drive people home. The committee is hoping to buy an old ambulance
for this purpose and already has a place to garage it and a'mechanic to keep it in order. ToTaise funds, there is to be a fashion show and cheese and wine evening at Chipping Village Hall on
June 30th. Also promised are the proceeds of a clay pigeon
visitors kept saleswomen busy on the bring-and-buy stall shown in our picture. Competitions proved popu lar, prizewinners including Mrs Dawson and Mrs Dugdale.
